Time: 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
Description: Join local fiber artist Erin Carlson of Red Cottage Fiber Studio in crafting a sturdy 2-dimensional woolen ornament with the help of your favorite cookie cutter! Students will learn about the wonderful properties of wool which allow it to felt into lovely solid forms and experiment with surface decoration to bring their ornament to life. No experience necessary and beginners welcome.
Students will leave with 1-2 finished ornaments and the materials to complete any unfinished pieces at home.
Note: this workshop is being offered two separate times on the same day. Please be sure you are registering for the time that you would like to attend!
